I don’t have a God (or a god, for that matter), but I do swear by other people’s.
I tried “Oh my Bob” for awhile, but Bob said people were starting to ask if we were gay. I don’t know why. I don’t even know Bob.
Now, I see a lot of you swearing by this Og fellow, and I wanted to know who he is and whether I can borrow him. Just for a sentence here and there, you understand; I’ll give him back.
My Og is a wrathful and vengeful Og, ready to smite those who would cross him! I forget who, exactly, originated Og here, but IIRC it started with the words “Og Smash!”

I am a member of the First house of Polyester Worship and Horizontal Throbbing Teenage Desire, and our First Lady of the White Go-Go Boot, Lord of the 40 watt, undulating, apocolyptic lava lamp, and the “no pizza-take-out after 12:00” Shrine of the “Wrastling Jesus” Achy-Breaky Love Tabernacle.

I’m a friend of Dorothy’s. So one day I expect I’ll go to the land of Og.
It’s a James Parry. Thought by some to be the first netizen to grep a usenet newsfeed for mentions of his handle, IIRC. Also the founder of alt.religion.kibology which seems to share some basic fundamentals with the Church of the SubGenius and Discordianism.
I’ll be durned. He’s still around and twice as colourful.
